Fulham vs Aston Villa FAC 3rd Rd Match Thread

We really are excellent when it comes to not winning football matches.

A fascinating insight into the total lack of quality beyond our ‘starters’.

I feel like we’ve barely been in their end since the goal.

[ez]

How come their players are twice as fast as ours.

Knockeart is miles better than anyone in our team today.

Lansbury just doesn't care does he?

These games are to give players some game time, and also see if anyone has any guts to fight for a place.

If we lose it, oh well. Kodjia got a goal, so thats a plus.

By "these games" do you mean FA Cup games?  If so, not as far as I'm concerned.

I expect people to work for their salary.  I'm with hilts on this.

It's been disgraceful.

6 mins added time

It's been useful to see some of them playing themselves out of contention and into being, hopefully, sold.

Who'd have them?

Subtle but very coy....lol.

Today is terrifying glimpse into a Grealish-less future.

Engels just lets him run in behind.. honestly, wtf?!

Well trained, well disciplined and motivated as opposed to our lot who look in the main like this game got in the way of them hitting the sales.

Defeats like this remind me of the good old Lambert days.

Well he got an assist.

FA Cup is a massively important competition and hopefully we will win it again some day, in my lifetime please Villa.

However this year was never going to be that year, and as much as I hate myself for saying it, I'm not sorry we're out. We've just been decimated by big injuries and we have important business to do just  to stay afloat in the PL.

Semi-final of the League Cup is good enough for me and hopefully we'll give Foxes more of a fight than we did at VP lately.

How come their players are twice as fast as ours.

How come they can control a ball first time, pass to a teammate, move, look to receive the ball, press and run intelligently off the ball?
